Jose Mourinho addresses five key issues on Manchester United unveiling

TALKATIVE: Jose Mourinho made some pretty big revelations at his first Manchester United press

Jose on Wayne Rooney

“It is normal a player at their age change a bit but there is something that will never change which is the natural appetite to put the ball in the net.

“Maybe he is not a striker, not a No.9 any more but for me he will never be a No.6, playing 50 metres from the goal.

“You can tell me his pass is amazing but my pass is also amazing without pressure.“To be there and put the ball in the net is the most difficult thing.

“For me he will be a 9, a 10, a nine-and-a-half but never a 6 or an 8.”

Jose on Ryan Giggs leaving

“It is not my responsibility that Ryan is not in the club.

“The job Ryan wanted is the job the club decided to give me.

“Ryan wanted to be Manchester United manager and the owners and Mr Woodward decided to give the job to me.

“If one day he wants to come back when I am here, I will never say no and if one day the club offers him the chance to be manager, I think it will be something natural and the consequence of his success in his career.”
